Half of the chess.com people with the international flag are indians why?

To the topic: While I agree, it would be nicer, if people tend to put their own countries, there might be reasons why they don't.

 

Reasons might be:
1) They are multinational. I myself know someone, born in country a), living in country b) for 12 years, then moving to country c), with over 20 moving to country d). The surname came from country e) and the nationality is country f). And this is actually NOT made up. So what is the person's nationality? While mostly identifying with nation a), the intend is to recieve the national identity of d), where the person lives. I can imagine, if playing on chess.com, displaying country b) would be a viable option.

2) While the above example (to this extreme) is seldom, the person might identify with a cool culture to some extent. Maybe for the pen pal, or to demonstrate openness, the other country's flag is displayed.

3) Giving away already too much information, why here again. Here I would prefer, if people take the world flag.

4) Immaturity can be a reason, too; yes. Everyone of us was (or still is) immature at some point.


But why bother too much? Might be that there is somewhere out there a statistics, where the IPs really come from.

I guess it's you who needs to reassess your mindset . Flying your own flag in front of your name in a chess site isn't a barometer of your patriotism. Keeping another country's flag just for fun doesn't make you any less of an Indian.

BTW:

"i just wanna say one thing to that people

u suck

be proud about ur country"

- Think a second: Who right now is motivated to think: "ah, right, I suck. Ok then. I think I'm proud now"

 

also:

"and ik someone will comment its my choise u are u tell

for them just leave this forum its going abovee ur head u are just tooo small to understand it"

- It's hard to even go through your sentences, if they are disjointed like that,

i.e.: They could have a variety of meaning, especially if you don't care for spelling.

In poetry, this may work. In forums, not so much. It undermines your argument and furthermore, you'll receive less attention.

     For centuries Indians (including Pakistanis and Bengalis) have emigrated to other nations, especially to England and her colonies in the time of the  Empire, and more recently to the United States and Europe now in the "information age". So why does it surprise anyone that people of South Asian heritage should be living other places around the world?
